An Audacious Book Club Writing Contest

Some summer writing fun!

At the end of our June book club selection, Bite by Bite, author Aimee Nezhukumatathil offers a series of food writing prompts to spark your imagination. We would love to see what these wonderful prompts inspire so paid subscribers are invited to participate in an essay writing contest with a guest judge selecting the winner.

The winner will receive $2,500, publication in The Audacity, and a one-hour Zoom session where I offer feedback on up to 25 pages (double-spaced) of your fiction or non-fiction prose.

The prompts and submission link are below and paid subscription status will be verified for all entries! Your essays (this contest is for nonfiction only) should be between 1,000 and 2,500 words. Entries will be accepted until July 15th. Winners will be announced on September 3rd. The prompts are, merely, starting points. Where you go from there is entirely up to you.

(And thank you to Kaitlyn Adams, our book club manager, for this wonderful idea!)
